Keaau Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Keaau Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Keaau Airbnb took in $41,574 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,180 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about $4,250 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,610 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,870 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any HOA or condo fees.

How Keaau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Keaau listings are booked on 79% or more of their nights, against 59% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,940 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $325 a night or more, against a median of $195. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about $3,640 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $5,490, against $3,420 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Keaau listings average 4.85 stars, and 57% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about $6,680 a month, against $3,460 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Keaau?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Keaau?
In Keaau, 42% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Keaau?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Keaau Airbnb grossed $41,574 in the 12 months to September 2026, 32% below the Hawaii average of $61,223. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $26,114 a year (about $2,180 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $4,250 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
